The  copy  filmed  here  has  been  reproduced  thanks 
to  the  generosity  of: 

Library  of  Congress 
Photoduplication  Service 

The  images  appearing  here  are  the  best  quality 
possible  considering  the  condition  and  legibility 
of  the  original  copy  and  in  keeping  with  the 
filming  contract  specifications. 


Original  copies  in  printed  paper  covers  are  filmed 
beginning  with  the  front  cover  and  ending  on 
the  last  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, or  the  back  cover  when  appropriate.  All 
other  original  copies  are  filmed  beginning  on  the 
first  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, and  ending  on  the  last  page  with  a  printed 
or  illustrated  impression. 


The  last  recorded  frame  on  each  microfiche 
shall  contain  the  symbol  — ^-  (meaning  "CON- 
TINUED"), or  the  symbol  V  (meaning  "END"), 
whichever  applies. 

Maps,  plates,  charts,  etc.,  may  be  filmed  at 
different  reduction  ratios.  Those  too  large  to  be 
entirely  included  in  one  exposure  are  filmed 
beginning  in  the  upper  left  hand  corner,  left  to 
right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as 
required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method:

While  all  this  j;Teat  devclopnient 
has  been  pushed  vi,v,n)rously  in  theSonth 
by  -Mr.  Plant,  he  has  at  the  same  lime 
been  improviii)^;  his  lines  between  the 
United  States  and  the  Maritime  Prov- 
inces, lie  was  one  of  the  first  to  fore- 
.see  what  has  since  been  so  abundantly 
proven,  that  Xova  Scotia  and  Prince 
Edward  Island  were  the  most  desirable, 
sunuuerinir  s|)ots  within  easy  access 
for  Americans,  and  that  they  would, 
as  they  have  now  become,  the  favorite 
and  elio>;en  regions  for  health  as  well 
as  ])leastire  seekers.  The  [)olicy  of  the 
entire  Plant  System  rellecls  the  jrene- 
rous,  broad-minded  spu'it  of  its  creator. 
It  is  not  to  see  just  how  little  can  be 
done  for  its  jxitrons  to  keep  them  from 
complainini;-,  l)Ut  rather  to  do  all  for 
them,  and  jjive  them  every  conven- 
ijnce  and  lu.xurv  that  j^ood  executive 
nianatvement  considers  the  business  will

it  is  a  iiiuntrv  in  which  nature  has 
been  so  lavish  in'lier  eharms  that  art  is 
scareelv  missed  at  all.     A  region  where 


Hi.UlL'    ^imlls 


eaeh  little  hamlet,  whether  by  sea  or  far 
baek  in  the  rugged  interior,  lias  its  indi- 
vidual eharms  "of  (piaint  novelty,  and 
where  (lavs  or  weeks  may  be  idleil  away 
in  healthful  rest. 

( )ne  of  the  teiiderest  of  ])oets  has  east 
over  the  region  "the  eonseeration  and 
purple  light  of  his  imaginings."  i'erhaps 
the  hills  will  not  be  ipiile  so  softened  in 
their  lines;  jierhaps  the  mellow  atmos- 
phere mav  be  less  seduelive,  but  if  we 
lose  the  eharms  and  faseinations  of  the 
ideal,  if  the  fair  dreams  of  our  imagina- 
tion are  seattered  in  the  awakenin,g,  we 
lind  in  the  reality  of  the  present  a  full 
eontent,  and  need  not  fear  the  erueial 
test  of  personal  aequaintanee. 

One  of  the  great  all-pervading  eharms 
of  Xova  Seotia  is  its  health  and  whole- 
sonieness.  Thejieople  show  it,  and  their 
manners  bes])eak  it.  The  ehildren  you 
see  arc  ruddy-faeed  and  elumsy-limbed, 
the  voung  men  and  maidens  pietures  of 
robust    health.       Malaria    is    a   slran.ger.

is  a  fact,  however,  that  the  dollar  of  the 
tourist  will  j;d  fartlur  in  Nova  Scotia

a  day  in  the  country  to  §?,  the  hi).',hest 
charj^id  anywhere,  anil  this  only  at  a 
very  few  hotels  in  the  Provinces.  A  dol-

avera.ne  ])rice  at  hotels,  and  board  by  the

Those  who  have  spenl  a  vacation  tin)c 
with  oiu-  neighbors  to  the  .Northeast, 
know  them  to  be  a  most  liospitable, 
warm-hearted  and  wholesome  people! 
without  affectation  or  greed.  The  nerv- 
ous activity,  the  ceaseless  luirry  an<l 
hustle  of  the  United  States  have  no  place 
with  them.  Their  characteristics  are 
more  like  those  which  mark  the  iMiglish- 
nian  at  home.  Genial,  hosi)itable  and 
generous,  they  make  the  stranger  wel- 
come within  'their  gales.  Ask'  a  New 
Yorker  on  his  native' streets  to  direct  you

Such  a  thing  as  a  burglary  would,  it 
is  .sate  to  say,  be  considered  a  most  un-

Outside  of  the  citadel  and  adjoining'  it 
upon  the  city's  streets  are  many  barracks 
for  ot'Hcers  and  married  men, 
the  military  hospital,  which  cost 
over  half  a  million  dollars,  and 
the  ,t;'arrison  chapel,  where  the 
staff  and  troojis  attend  service

It  is  said  the  fi'aiue  of  this  church  was 
bronj;lU  from  .Massachusetts  in  1740,  and 
it  has  had  but  five  rectors  in  the  century 
ami  a  half  snice  then.  The  "  Little 
I  tulch  Church,"  built  in  175?,  and  whose 
original  si/i'  and  architeclni'e  have  never 
been  altifed,  is  still  in  ^imh[  ri'pair,  aiul

was  up  to  1.S30  the  finest  structure  on  the

Wolfville  and   Kentville  are  most  desir-

this  eoiuilry,  as  everything  else,  is  ex-

Pepperal,  a  merchant  ignorant  of  the  art 


of  war,  is  one  of  the  most  extra- 
ordinarv  events  in  the  annals  of 
history.'      The    zealous   i-rusadcrs 
set  forth  ujion  a  task,  of  the  dilli- 
culties  of  which  they  had  no  con- 
ception, and  Ihev  gained  a  triumi)h 
whieh  should   niake  their  names 
as  immortal  as  thoseof  the  'noble 
six    liundi-e<l.'       It    was    a    feat 
without    a    parallel— a     marvel 
among     the     most     marvellmis 
deeds  which  man    has  dared  to
